Overview
The DOC has many policies. A group of core policies are referred to as DC-ADMs. These policies govern the basic operations of state prisons. Other policies cover more specific programs and procedures.
The DOC makes the majority of its policies public to provide transparency. Policies undergo regular updates to ensure employees follow the most current laws and best practices.
Policy documents are grouped by related topics. Many have connections to other policies, and some require reading more than one policy to understand a subject.
